Audiences will join Percy Jackson (Lucas Nolen) as he discovers he's a demigod and embarks on a quest with fellow demigod Annabeth Chase (Emily Studebaker) and his best friend Grover Underwood (Lucas Somers), a Satyr, to retrieve Zeus' (Zachary Arens) stolen lightning bolt. This epic adventure is a testament to the power of friendship and courage.
